Chapter 57: Journey to the West 57
For two or three days in a row, Sun Wukong redoubled his attention to cultivation a little, and his efficiency has obviously improved a lot, and the progress that used to take half a day to make is now only two hours.
As long as he had free time, Sun Wukong went straight to Tang Sanqing's location. Tang Sanqing spent a lot of thought every day when he was tired of dodging his pursuit.
She kept in mind that she and Sun Wukong were not from the same era, and there was a difference of more than 800 years, and rashly adding fetters would only bring them a bad impact in the future.
In the past two days, it happened that the patriarch was in retreat and cultivating, Tang Sanqing couldn't disturb without permission, and while he was upset about Sun Shengyin's affairs, Sun Wukong would use new methods to torture her every day.
The day before yesterday he brought a praying mantis, yesterday he brought cockroaches, and today I don't know what kind of "surprise" it will bring her.
The current Monkey King is really stubborn, under the banner of helping him learn the ability to deal with unexpected dangers, and when he saw her frightened by centipedes and cockroaches, she laughed and got carried away.
Tang Sanqing was squatting in the grass under a peach tree in the back mountain, and the two small crickets were fighting, which still looked very interesting.
In the next second, a huge dog's tail grass came out from behind her, and as soon as she turned around, a brown-black earthworm appeared in front of her, twisting and struggling.
Tang Sanqing glared at Sun Wukong, this one was about the same thickness as her arm, and the earthworm was honestly staying in the dirt, it was too pitiful for him to play with it like this.
Seeing that Tang Sanqing was so calm, Sun Wukong pursed his lips, squatted down, and then released the pinched earthworm, "Look, now your mental quality is very strong trained by me." ”
"It's impossible to be scared by you every time......"
Tang Sanqing looked at Sun Wukong, he was holding a piece of grass in his mouth, holding a dog's tail grass in one hand to tease the crickets to fight, and he looked idle.
The crickets at their feet were just messing with their companion Pippi, but now they can't help but be aroused to win, and they are willing to give up until they fight to the death.
"Don't make a fuss, I'm going down the mountain."
After Tang Sanqing finished speaking, sure enough, Sun Wukong's hand teasing the dog's tail grass stopped, threw it away, and lost interest in the crickets at his feet, and with a light blow, they all disappeared.
"Well, it's okay to go down the mountain, but with your current small body, you just go directly to give the little demons a tooth sacrifice......" Sun Wukong loosened his muscles and bones, and said casually: "This king and I have been idle recently, and it is not impossible to send you down the mountain." ”
"No way!" Tang Sanqing refused without thinking about it.
Sun Wukong really just said it casually, unless Tang Sanqing was crying and begging himself, he still had the slightest possibility to think about it. However, he didn't expect that Tang Sanqing would reject him? Sun Wukong looked at his resolute expression, and his weak little body was straight.
Tang Sanqing saw that Sun Wukong's originally casual expression became dark, his brown eyes stared straight at her, and she also felt that the tone of what she had just spoken was very inappropriate.
However, Sun Wukong really must not go down the mountain, especially not to Baihuling. The purpose of her and Sun Shengyin's coming to eight hundred years ago through the Moonlight Treasure Box was to cut off the fate between him and Bai Jingjing.
has come to this point, as long as Bai Jingjing is rescued, let her live, don't become a white bone spirit, and don't meet Sun Wukong, then everything that follows will not happen again.
Therefore, Tang Sanqing continued euphemistically.
"I mean, you have to practice the mountain every day, and I can handle my affairs myself, so don't delay your cultivation because of my affairs."
"No, the matter of cultivation can be handed over to my little clone."
"However, if your master, Patriarch Bodhi, finds out, he will be angry."
"He's in retreat now, he won't know, and even if he does, he'll be angry because you left without permission."
"I didn't leave without permission, the patriarch knew that I would definitely leave here."
"He let you go, not to send you to death."
"There is my companion down the mountain, and he will protect me."
"I am your master, and I will protect you too."
"How did you become my master?"
"I am not only your master, but I will teach you your skills; Or your benefactor, who saved you from the precipice, why have you forgotten? ”
"You, obviously ......"
Tang Sanqing can't say anything about him, Sun Wukong has always only recognized his own truth, she can be regarded as knowledgeable, the original Tang Sanzang Master tried hard to persuade him to have little effect, let alone himself.
Eat soft or not hard, the more you sing against him, the more it can arouse his rebellious psychology, Tang Sanqing thought for a while and said: "I didn't go down the mountain to play, I went to find someone, and you will probably feel very bored along the way." And the villagers under the mountain are very simple and kind, but they are a little timid......"
"Why, do you think I'll look like I'm going to scare them?" Sun Wukong's eyes flickered and he asked rhetorically.
Tang Sanqing looked at Sun Wukong's face, his golden hair was smooth, his skin was fair, and his facial features were handsome. In all fairness, among the youkai, the appearance is outstanding, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best.
However, in the eyes of the villagers, such an unusually strange appearance is too rare and will definitely cause a commotion.
"I didn't mean that, you're very good-looking...... Tang Sanqing paused, sighed and compromised, "If you go, it's better to disguise yourself." ”
Sun Wukong suddenly turned his head, the tips of his ears were red, but his mood was much better at first glance.
"It's useless for you to compliment me, I can do whatever I want, you can't control it!" As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Tang Sanqing couldn't figure out Sun Wukong's moody character, he might go down the mountain, maybe not, she couldn't figure it out.
Early the next morning, Tang Sanqing came to the bronze mirror and saw Sun Shengyin taking the woman to the market, she couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but it seemed that the surrounding villagers looked at her with a strange look.
Mistaken complicated eyes, sympathy, disgust, curiosity, piti......
No matter what, they avoided Sun Shengyin and her from a distance, and did not dare to step forward.
Even so, Sun Shengyin and her seemed to be indifferent to everything around them, only each other in their eyes, holding hands with each other, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
Tang Sanqing took one last look, turned to leave, and walked firmly in the direction of the bottom of the mountain.
She was so small and walked many times slower than the others, so she enlisted the help of the Bodhi Patriarch's mount, the child of the crane. I fed it the fruit for several days, and finally got acquainted with it.
Riding the little crane, although it has just become an adult and is still small, it is more than enough to carry itself.
Flying all the way down the mountain, I soon arrived at Baihuling, which looked unusually quiet from above. There used to be many small animals foraging in the forest, but now there are no creatures.
When she arrived in Baijia Village, the little crane also went down the mountain for the first time, and she told the little crane a few words, and it flew quickly to other places to play.
With a lot of effort, Tang Sanqing finally found the courtyard where Sun Shengyin and the woman lived now that he had seen in the bronze mirror.
There was no one inside, it seemed that they were still outside, Tang Sanqing planned to wait here for him to come back first.
Regardless of whether Sun Shengyin plans to leave or stay now, he will at least tell himself some clues to find Bai Jingjing.
Suddenly, there was the sound of a heavy object falling and hitting the floor in the silent courtyard, what was it?
Tang Sanqing followed the sound and walked over, it was a vacant room with no one occupied, and a metal iron lock was locked on the deadbolt. However, the door lock can lock people, but it can't lock Tang Sanqing.
It is also a blessing for her body to become smaller, the door gap is not big, but it is more than enough for her to pass sideways.
After entering the room, Tang Sanqing realized that it was Sun Shengyin's wishful golden hoop stick that made the movement.
It was entwined and imprisoned by many chains, and as soon as Tang Sanqing appeared, the golden hoop rod began to shake and struggle, driving the chains to make a crisp sound.
The Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick is now Sun Shengyin's magic weapon, hidden in his ears on weekdays, and he never leaves his body, how can he be locked here now?
Tang Sanqing guessed that there would only be two possibilities, one was that Sun Shengyin didn't want to continue to learn scriptures from the West, and wanted to stay in Baijia Village, and the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick would no longer need it; Second, Sun Shengyin is now in danger, otherwise the golden hoop stick will not leave his side......
Tang Sanqing's heart was more inclined to the latter, not only because of her own expectations, but also because when she saw Sun Shengyin's figure in the bronze mirror, she seemed to have found the reason why the sense of disobedience was so strong.
Tang Sanqing hurriedly stepped forward to help the golden hoop stick get rid of these chains, the chains were covered with spider webs, and the strange thing was that the spider webs were pulled off, and a new spider web was immediately wrapped.
Tang Sanqing's heart was not good, and in the next second, many little spiders crawled out of the corner, surrounded her heavily, and gathered densely together, making people frightened.
The little spiders spit spider silk on her body together, and soon Tang Sanqing was tightly bound by the spider web, and the golden hoop stick was shaking and struggling anxiously on the side.
At this moment, there was a sound from the fence outside the courtyard gate, and it seemed that someone had entered.
The metal lock outside the door was opened, and it fell to the ground with a heavy sound, as if it hit Tang Sanqing's heart.
Tang Sanqing looked back in a panic, and a man in ordinary clothes appeared at the door, with fair skin, a tall posture, handsome and easy, and a cold expression.
"Ah Yin?"
Tang Sanqing looked at the familiar brown-yellow clear eyes, but inside were her unfamiliar eyes.
suddenly relieved that he was not Sun Shengyin.
For some reason, after coming to this conclusion, it was clear that her situation was even more dangerous and severe, but her mood was inexplicably relaxed.
